Wicked

Chapter 2

At the Carter household I felt safe from harm and unfortunately a good nights sleep. I didn't know how Chârd did it. With her younger brother constantly waking up and asking us to take him to the bathroom and her older brother chatting up a storm until the wee hours of the morning.

I woke up, if it wasn't more like just getting up, with dark bags under my eyes. Chârd woke up looking how I'd imagine the sporty princess in Adventure Time would look; energetic, bubbly and... awake.

She looked at me and I thought I heard her giggle although it could've been the sleep deprivation. She said something so simple it would've brought a smile to my face had I not been a total grump. She said "ear-plugs."

Later that day we were sitting watching television. I usually hated weekends because I was usually under house arrest. Though I could enjoy it now with my real family.

Right in the most suspenseful part of a particularly great episode of Supernatural, not that they all aren't great, the phone rang. Nathaniel jumped to get it. "Mowi, Mowi it's for you!" I groaned and got up hoping it wasn't an angry Bo wandering where I was.

I picked it up and heard a very official voice on the other end. "Hello, is this miss Amauria Daemon?" I stammered a yes in reply.

"Right, this is Detective Barlow, we have some disturbing news." Again I only mumbled an incoherent response. "Miss Daemon, your... Father (?) was found this morning. We suspect murder."

I was silent in shock, "still there? Well we'd like to get a statement from you if you wouldn't mind coming down to the police station this evening?" I looked up at Chârd's worried face and replied softly "okay, umm goodbye officer," and then hung up.

I looked at Chârd before asking "how did they know I was here?" She looked at me and shrugged before asking "so what did the fuzz want?" I grinned at that word 'fuzz', she really was a weirdo.

The smile fell from my face when the question sunk in. It's answer was one I really didn't want to face. Not that I would miss Bo. Frankly the world was probably a better place without him. I just knew who it was that did the dark deed and couldn't believe someone so cute and well that's all I can really think of right now... Anyway it was just weird to think the guy who saved me actually killed Bo. I hoped it was something like self-defense and not actual murder.

I sighed, "Bo's dead. He was murdered and I think I have a crush on the guy who did it." She looked aghast, "what!?!?" I wasn't sure if I was about to be slapped or hugged, maybe even both.

Neither happened as Chârd just sat there looking at what I presumed was a green alien with purple slime or something to that effect, standing in my place. She looked disgusted, shocked, amazed and weirded out all at once. What can I say, she was talented.

She sighed "Amauria Daemon tell me everything that happened last night, now!" I couldn't disagree or protest when she used her mom voice.

I divulged the events of the previous evening and to say she was angry was an understatement. "Chârd, you mad?" She looked shocked at the question and ran to give me a hug, "I'm just p*d off at that dirt bag for attacking you, and slightly confused with this mystery guy." She stood back "I'm glad you're okay."

"Oh! I forgot I have to get to the police station they want a statement." So off we went, in her dad's minivan, to the station.

After answering their questions to the best of our ability, they'd decided to question Châron aswell, we were sent home in a state of relief. The officer in charge of the case, Detective Barlow, told us he'd help me get my stuff from the house the next day and notify us if they had a break in the case. He did say that this case seemed like it would go cold.

A/N:
Another one done. I wasn't sure what the surname of Châron should be. I asked my friends and @mrszzstylesz helped me and thus the Carter family was created.
